Branston Pickle
Branston Pickle [ 'brænstən pɪkəl ] ( ) is a British brand name of a vegetarian relish .
It was first produced in 1922 in Burton-upon-Trent on the outskirts of Branston (Staffordshire) by Crosse & Blackwell . In 2004 the brand was bought by Premier Foods and production relocated to Bury St. Edmunds in Suffolk .
Branston Pickle has a sweet taste, a chutney- like consistency and contains small pieces of vegetables in a sticky brown sauce.
Branston pickle is mainly served as part of a plowman's lunch , a common meal in English pubs . It is also often found on sandwiches in combination with cheddar cheese .
In October 2004, the Bury St. Edmunds production facility was completely destroyed in a fire. This drove up prices due to delivery bottlenecks.
